LibriVox recording of Jezebel's Daughter by Wilkie Collins.
A brilliant chemist and a shrewd businessman — die on the same day. The widow of the chemist, Mrs. Fontaine, is left with the poisons he was researching , while Mrs. Wagner is left with her husband's mental health institution reforms and his plans for hiring women along with men in his firm's offices. Mrs. Wagner believes in treating madmen gently, and requests for the funny little man Jack Straw to be released from the madhouse. At the same time, her nephew David Glenney is sent to the Frankfurt office, where he works with Mr Engelmann and Mr Keller. The Keller sun, Fritz, has fallen in love with Minna Fontaine, but the prospect of marriage is not being approved of by his father because Madame Fontaine is said to be in debt after her husband's death. (Summary by Nadine)

Eh, could have been better
First, I'll say that the readers did a nice job, I don't recall having any issues with the chapters.
Being a Wilkie Collins fan like I am, this book kind of let me down. I have either listened to, or read most of his books. Usually a theme or character jumps out from his book and really grabs you and draws you into the story. This one just didn't do that. It was kind of predictable, I guess. The antagonist wasn't really hateable either, just annoying. And it kind of felt like the story dragged out.
If I had listened to this book before other WC books I'd probably rate it higher, but in comparison, it just lacks the spirit of his other works.

Nice story!
I really enjoyed this one too. The book is divided in 2, the first part being narrated by David Glenney, a young clerk, the second part is narrated in the third person. For some reason I highly enjoyed David's narration, while I found the second part more predictable and maybe too detailed. David makes a lot of conjectures, does not really know what to make of Madame Fontaine. This set me speculating a lot.
But all in all an enjoyable book!
